Liotta, G., & Mineo, G. 1974 [Studies on the chemical control of Aonidiella aurantii (Mask.).. EPPO (European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organization) Bulletin 4(3): 381-385.

Notes: Aonidiella aurantii (Mask.) which was accidentally introduced in Sicily in 1968 has since become a dangerous pest requiring special treatments in citrus groves. Experiments have been carried out on Citrus lemon to evaluate the efficacy of several organophosphorous compounds partly in mixture with white oil and this latter applied alone. Excellent results are obtained against young females but poor effects against mature females. Proper timing of application is essential.
